    Did Eurospares (UK) not have one from a car they are breaking? The seem to always have two or three on their website, or is that all a front/sham?

    It's not "a front/sham", it's just that they just don't update that part of their website very often so a lot of the time the cars shown have already been dismantled with a lot of parts sold already.

    Let's be fair here, how many Ferrari's get written off on a weekly/monthly basis that would make it worth updating that section on a regular basis?

    It's still worth the OP contacting them though to see if they have a tail light assembly available.

    They could not deliver EU-lights, but i ordered 2 USA/Canada rear lights from Eurospare. New rear grill also coming, 1900+pounds!!!!!! It is good to have insurance:)

    ouch a lot of cash, but whilst vehicle values escalate, unfortunately so too do the parts!

    I think it has more to do with how rare the cars are getting now and how hard the parts are to come by rather than the recent rise in values.

    It's called "Supply and demand"

    And lets face facts here, Ferrari parts have never been cheap (for example, when 348's and 355's were brand new, the cost of a brand new replacement door mirror complete and painted from Ferrari was @ £2.5K. Today that same door mirror from Ferrari will cost you £2.5K [and you've never been able to buy just the mirror glass!] )
